Design 1 Project Portfolio Samples

 These are 5 projects I completed in Design I class.  Most of my projects I used black construction paper on white Bristol board paper.  The 3rd image was a group project.  The 4th image was a photo project.  Used my digital camera to photograph the six images.  Most of the images were cleaned up in Photoshop.

Self Portrait

charcoal pencils on newsprint

One Point Perspective Sample

One point perspective drawing done on my bamboo tablet.  It was a quick sketch out to practice drawing perspectives. The chest is a two point perspective drawing.  I have the eye point where the drawing starts or focus at; and then a horizon line and two points at the end to show where my 2 point perspective starts.

Compassion

This is a new piece I did recently.  Hand drew the couple and the hearts with curvilinear lines.  Scanned it into Photoshop and colored, used filters and other techniques to achieve this artwork.
I really enjoy showing emotion and color in my illustrations in this piece.  I hope you all enjoy!

Cartoon version of the band, Witherton.

This was done with pencil.

Punk Cat

A drawing of a punk style cat. Used pencil to draw it.

Imagination through books

Sketched from my mind.  Used pencil for the drawing and then scanned it in Photoshop.  Added some text to the drawing and used a gradient on the text.

Suited Mouse Illustration

A new addition to my artwork.  Hand drew it in pencil.  Scanned it into the computer and used Photoshop to color, shade, highlight and more. A mouse ready for the town.

Calvin and Hobbes Fan Art

These are different stages I did during the process of completing my piece.  Used pencil to sketch it out, then scanned it into Photoshop, digitally inked, colored, and use various effects in Photoshop.

Action Pose Sketch

Leaf

I took this photo of this leaf at Fort Bellefontaine near north St. Louis County.  I applied a glass distortion, filters like a gradient and light effect, and hue and saturation.

Sketch of Calvin and Hobbes

This is a sketch I did of the comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes.  Created it with pencil.  I am currently working on coloring and shading the drawing.  I hope to show different stages of the art work.

Rough sketch and color of weapon ideas.

These are a few weapon ideas I drew up and colored to give me an idea on what they would look like colored.  These may not be the final colors, but it give me a rough idea what they will look like.  These weapons are for a game I am designing and the images are going with the game below.  The images of the game below, have a tree, clouds and a guy character in the scene.  So these weapons will be used in that game.

Pen drawings

Sketches and final artwork for Global Game Jam game.

Background scene

I changed the background and added a few things to make it stand out more.  This is an updated background of a video game I am creating.  The images and game is still in development stage.  Done image in Photoshop.

This background I took out the rocks.

Sample of Character B

This is a character color sample page.  Rough idea how or what the character B will look like.

Game Preview

This is the first preview of what I hope will be a game I will complete.  I created all of it with Photoshop.  I do not have all of the elements yet made in the scene.  I will add another character that the other guy will attack or hit.  I think its like a Versus style game or shooting type with platforms.

Colored Preview of Game Character

This is a few poses I came up with for a video game character I created.  I sketched it out first, scanned it into Photoshop, and colored it.

New Game Art Idea!

This is an idea that I sketched out for a game.  This is a draft of a character you may use in the game.  These are not the final drawings yet.  I did draw out one of the enemies that will also be in the game.  I may post it soon.  The game is still in the pre-production or designing stage.  I will try and update what I am doing.

Update on game progress.

Well I just got word that our game is coming together nicely.  I few more tweaks to do from what my friend said to me.  We are thinking it will be out hopefully in January 2012.  I will keep updates on the release.

I also hope to put some more artwork up soon.

The Night Before Thanksgiving.

Hey to all of my fans and onlookers.  It is just about Thanksgiving in a couple of hours at least here in the Midwest.  I want to give thanks to everyone who supported me and who is supporting me currently in life.

It been a rocky year and a half for me.  Finding my true skills and essence of my being.  I have struggled to get where I want to be and if that is what I have to travel then I will do my best to work through this time of my life.  I hope that God will fit those gifts and opportunities in my life and help me see those gifts and people that come into my life.

I am thankful and grateful to have friends, family, and things in my life.  I pray for everyone to have a Thanksgiving that is safe, enjoyable, and filled with love from others. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
